I'm sure you are already aware of that. ANYWAY *on with the show*

Chapter Two

With her hand clasped over her mouth she quietly walked down the hallway unnoticed. She couldn't bear facing anyone at the moment, especially him.

In her desperate attempt to be alone she staggered into the nearest room. Gently closing the door behind her, Chichi bit her lip in hopes that no one would find her. She looked around and realized that she was in the bathroom. Resting against the door she slowly sank to the ground.

"I waited for you…" she whispered.

Allowing herself to be swept up by her emotions, she recalled the exact moment he told her…

------*Reminiscing*------

She was fixing the corners of their bedspread (even though they were already perfect) while quietly humming to herself. She smiled, it had been such a pleasant day; everyone was home, the sun was shining brightly and apparently, according to everyone else, she'd just cooked the best lunch ever. It was perfect.

"Hi Goku" she said casually. She turned around to find him standing in the doorway.

"How'd ya know I was here?" he asked. She smiled cunningly.

"I know a lot of things mister" she turned back and continued to fix the 'already perfect' bedspread.

Goku sighed. 'No you don't…' he thought to himself. He knew he had to tell her, and it was a case of now or never.

"Hey Chi, do you mind if we…" he paused.

"Yeah?" she turned to face him.

"…-talk?" he finished. Chichi smiled sweetly.

"Sure" she said happily. With a look of uncertainty across his face, Goku silently closed the door behind him and walked up to her. Chichi lovingly wrapped her arms around him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"What is it sweetheart?" she asked softly. He looked down into her dark, yet warm eyes and sighed. She was so pretty.

"Umm, Chichi…I, I haven't been completely honest with you lately…"

There was a slight pause.

"Wh-what do you mean?" she asked apprehensively. She was still smiling, though it wasn't a happy smile – it was a nervous smile.

Goku found it hard to look directly into her eyes; this was it.

"I've been seeing another woman…" he muttered. Chichi's eyes widened slightly. Goku noticed how her smile disappeared. She immediately let go of him and stepped away from him. She began breathing uneasily. She couldn't believe it…this couldn't be real. It couldn't.

Feeling her legs go numb she slowly sat herself down on the bed.

"Get out" she whispered.

"Please, just listen…"

"Get. Out."

Without another word Goku left the room.

Breathing heavily she laid back on the bed. She didn't leave the room for the rest of the day, she couldn't; her body was so full of shock. That night she couldn't sleep. She just laid there, alone, telling herself that none of this was real.

She began to cry a few days later and realized that she had to talk to him about this, even though she knew it was going to be painful.

------*End of Reminiscing*------

Coming out of her thoughts, Chichi stood up and walked up to the mirror. Her reflection looked terrible; her hair was a mess, her face was puffy and her eyes were lifeless. How could he do this to her?

She angrily slammed her fist down on the table, which was right under the mirror. Looking down she saw all of Goku's items. Out of frustration she ran her arm over the table, knocking everything onto the floor. She'd had enough of crying; she needed to get her anger out. But not here, not in front of her children. If they were to find out she didn't know what she'd do.

Suddenly hearing noises coming from the bathroom, Goku ran as fast as he could (which we all know is very fast) and knocked on the door.

"Chichi?"

She didn't answer.

"Chi, I'm ready to talk now" he said quietly, hoping he'd let her in. Chichi glared at the door, knowing he was standing right behind it. She still didn't answer. Feeling very frustrated, he swung open the door to find the bathroom empty…with an open window.

Author's Note: Well, there's the second chapter for ya. Was it alright? I'm a bit unsure about it but hey; I tried. Thanks so much to all those reviewers who complimented the first chapter – I really appreciate it. I just need to know one thing; was this chapter as good as the first? (Sorry if that question sounds rather immodest but I have to know).

Thanks for reading! Oh yeah, if you have the time, could you please give a review? ^_^
